Math Beasts Camp 6 (Prealgebra Prep)

Summer Mathematics

This summer program is designed for students who will be in a 6th-grade math class or Prealgebra class in the fall.
Students who have just completed our 5th Grade Mathematics Academic Year course are
ready for Math Beasts Camp 6. (Students are not required to take AoPS Academy Academic Year
courses prior to enrolling in AoPS Academy summer programs.)

Each day of Math Beasts Camp 6 consists of a Problem Solving component and a Mathematical Exploration component.
Problem Solving keeps students sharp on important topics while preparing them for the upcoming school year.
We start each class with a quick review of a key topic that students should have encountered in the
previous school year. This review is followed by a series of intriguing problems that push
student understanding of the topic well beyond the standard fifth-grade level.
We finish each Problem Solving discussion with a challenging activity in which students collaborate in teams.

Our Mathematical Explorations are designed to introduce topics that most students don't encounter until
much later in their schooling, and to equip students with general mathematical strategies
that will be useful throughout their education. The Math Beasts Camp 6 Mathematical Exploration
starts with an introduction to several real-world problems that have the same underlying structure. These problems serve as
an entry point into the rich field of graph theory. Students learn the basics of
graph theory through mathematical games that can be solved with graph-theoretic concepts, laying
the groundwork for applying graph theory to novel problems they'll encounter later in the course.

This two-week course meets Monday through Friday for three hours each day. Summer 2020 courses will run online for all sessions.

Space is very limited for our summer programs. Please do not wait until the last minute to enroll.
If there are more than two weeks before the course starts, a $200 deposit will be due when enrolling, with the balance
due two weeks before the course begins.

"General coaching classes at many academic training centers stress repetition of the concept until a student grasps it thoroughly. At AoPS Academy, they go far beyond repetition. Their highly qualified instructors do a great job at teaching fundamental concepts to students at much greater depth, and challenge them to walk that extra mile by presenting them with more complex problems to solve. It provides a great learning experience in a friendly, fun, yet competitive and challenging environment. They provide their students with a combination of excellent instructional curriculum along with amazing online tools. AoPS Academy also encourages students to take part in various competitions. Overall they do an incredible job imparting a deep knowledge of both math and language arts to all of their students, and AoPS Academy sets them on a path towards their career goals. We are happy to be part of AoPS Academy family!"-Sandeep J.
